Yeah, the websites/apps were the different front ends. But you were still streaming HBO. The movies and shows were the same, and if you had one it would be redundant to get the other. Max was introduced as an expanded library for Now, but eventually replaced both and Go was discontinued.
Streaming apps have their own catalogs and backends (although most of them license "all the music").
Akshually, they were different front ends accessing essentially the same library of content. Go was included with your cable subscription, and Now was a streaming license you could purchase separately. They weren't really different products, just different payment options.
Running for local, state, or congress sucks balls. You're basically a beggar, you have almost no power, you are beholden to your sponsors and party leadership, and you're expected to work long hours campaigning for shit you barely care about while pet issues get lost in the shuffle. Most of your time is on the phone making promises you won't keep to people who don't believe you. The rest of your time is spent in transit. Everyone hates you, you're surrounded by morons, and if you can't even sneeze on camera without your opponents posting the ugly sneeze face photo on twitter.
Basically, the DNC has to beg candidates to keep them around. One reward they like to dangle is support from the national committee. Blocking primary challengers helps the candidate save some cash make makes their re-election seem inevitable. It's a massive weight off, especially for younger politicians with few fonnections and fewer leverage options.
Is it right? Fuck no. I agree with you completely. But I can certainly understand why, if I were st the top of that ant hill, I wouldn't want climbers to get a foothold, either.
Have you ever watched these sessions? I'm getting sleepy just remembering one time I was flipping through channels and ran out of batteries in the remote and we were stuck on C-SPAN for a few minutes, or several days. I can't honestly say how long it was.
I always ask, but some people feel greedy or selfish if they tell you what they want. Plus, it's nice to have someone else think about you and your needs and desires, and then put some effort into providing that for you.
Like if I said, "I want fancy jewelry," that would feel petty and bratty. If my friend gave me a gift and said "I found this, and I thought it would fit your style and look great on you," that is going to make me feel good about receiving it and about our relationship.
It's always OK to ask, but it's not OK to insist they tell you. Demanding an answer is like saying, "I don't care enough about you to learn and remember your preferences."
That said, there are things I won't buy my wife because her preferences are too mysterious. I'll pick two seemingly identical handbags, same dimensions, material, color combinations, etc, and she will determine that one is gorgeous and the other is shit. It's a running joke with us that I'm hopelessly obtuse when it comes to style, and she's far too capricious in matters of taste to predict what she will like. She loves handbags, and I support her getting whatever purses and bags she likes when she sees them.
Likewise, she doesn't buy me techie stuff or tools.
I think you just missed the beginning of the conversation and tried to jump into it.
We started by saying that these should have a flared end, and I said that without a flared end, it's going to require medical intervention. That's where you jumped in to say, rather condescendingly, that's what the flared end is for. Go back and re-read the thread, because I really just think you're missing the context of the conversation we're having.
Regarding his disappointment, there are bigger and more complicated cubes. He can also be challenged to create patterns in the cube, like you mess up a cube and he has to match the randomness you created. That's a fun way to keep practicing those cube skills without the monotony of solving the same puzzle over and over.
I read the headline and thought "Oh shit, he's finally starting to get it" and then I read the article and it's like "... because people are critical of me." This muther fucker...
